Great PDF creation The advanced filters don't seem to work on my ASUS Transformer (TF201). When i make any adjustments with the advanced filters, the page image goes black & i can't restore it without abandoning changes. Otherwise, i love this app.

Used to be Good I bought the Pro version a while back because I liked the app a lot. Recent camera updates have ruined this application though, to the point where I no longer use the app. It stretches the images wide and defeats the purpose of scanning papers. You have to pull so far back no that the scanner can't accurately make out words. If I could try to get my money back I would.

Very poor app Considering I paid for the pro version of the app, the quality of the scanned files is a very poor. This app isn't capable of making jpg files, which are more convenient to use with a phone. Also, there isn't an option to make notes on the document with your phone. If you want these option, spend an extra dollar or two getting a proper scanner app. In comparison to what is available on Google play, this app is definitely not up to par. I regret paying for this app.

Awesome please add feature For encryption before being uploaded to cloud. Having to encrypt elsewhere causes extra work and security risk. Your app is a life and space saver. Way to be GREEN. I do agree with enhancement improvement is needed.anti shake would be helpful. The digi level is laggy. Using advanced image options causes black screen and have to restart process. Also please add option to join scans. Scan seems to lose quality when further away, this makes receipts a little tough so adding joined scans will keep quality.

Don't waste your time with a big scanning job We had family books we wanted to make copies of, so my husband and I both paid for the pro version of this app. We did a couple test scans of a few pages then went for it with our 100+ page books. My husband got done and when it took him to the next step to finalize, the app crashed and didn't save anything!!! I finished up a few minutes later and it did the same freaking thing! So much time and money wasted.

Love this app Samsung Galaxy Note II. Love this app. Makes copying and sending documents a breeze. It's intuitive and permits cloud storage of your documents. What's nice is I can be anywhere and make a PDF of just about anything then email it or whatever else I want to do with it. It took me 2 minutes to figure it out and I had a 5 page doc scanned and emailed to my bank within 10 minutes. It would have been quicker but I couldn't find my glasses.

My travel expense receipt powerhouse I really like Handy Scanner Pro. I've used it for about a year primarily to help me deal with all my travel receipts. It works really well for that. When I teach courses, I take snapshots of the flipchart pages I draw/write and turn them into good-quality PDFs that my students can take with them. The B&W Print-Ready filter works great for that, avoiding large (3 MB) file sizes. Recommended.

Bad app poor quality I tried out the free version. It said to get a higher quality I needed to buy the pro version. I did and highly regret paying for it. Very blurry and poor quality. I want my $4.99 back!!!

Blurry, just take a photo, you are better off. I first installed this in 2012 and it would take a few tries to get a readable scan but it worked so I purchased pro. 3 phones later I can't get a readable scan, very blurry. I gave up and just took a photo, perfectly clear, readable photo. Uninstall as worthless.

Why not true B&W? This is the fourth Android scanner app I've tried. PROS: Most thought-out, intuitive document processing UI, with most advanced options (I bought the Pro version) and settings. CONS: Like others, I found that using the advanced image adjustments (contrast, brightness) in the BW settings at least, allowed me only one adjustment before preview display went completely black. It's a bug I feel confident will be addressed. SUGGESTIONS: - figure out a way to move access from the settings options to the active scan window -- example: Quality settings - Give a TRUE bw (1 bit) image option. I did a simple test of a scan of black and white text. The final image resolution in the outputted PDF was a decent 267 ppi, BUT... it was not a black and white image embedded in the PDF, it wasn't even a greyscale image. It was a high contrast RGB. Which explained it's 880k file size. I used Acrobat Pro to edit that image in Photoshop to straight 1 bit black and white at the same resolution, and re-saved the image back into the PDF and saved it off as a new copy. The resulting file size was 49k. Note that true black and white PDFs print MUCH much faster than faux black and whites too!

Good app, but aggravating flaw Pretty good app. However, when I try to send documents via email, it frequently says: "failed to send attachment" or something like that. Hey, here's an idea: if you're not going to send the attachment, how about you don't send the email to which I told all my colleagues I had attached a document!!!!!! Why would you send the email, the sole purpose of which is to transport an attachment if there was an error that prevented attaching said attachment?! You have made me look the fool several times, so from now on, I will not be using your email feature. Guess I will have to export to my PC and send the docs the old-fashioned way. Please fix this aggravating and embarrassing flaw.

Most useful app Buy it now. Best $4 you'll ever spend. Seriously, buy it. This app is incredible. I easily keep all my receipts for reimbursement and itemization with this app and Dropbox so I can throw them all away immediately.

Still no option to disable camera sound I'll sound like a broken record, but version 2.1 still doesn't have an option to mute the camera sound as far as I can see ... despite what the update information says. Ok, seems that not naming a document triggers the auto name generation. Would be nice to have a better documentation of new features. Bug: Changing phone rotation while viewing a document makes the view disappear.

Excellent I've tried several other pdf converters / scanners, and this is the one for me. I use it to generate quotes for email and so far its the only one I've found that gives me a simple, quick process AND controls over the output quality. The ONLY reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because well - theres always room for improvement. I cant wait to see how they improve this app! (But just a shameless suggestion - the ability to import multiple pages at once for conversion would really knock my socks off and definately earn that 5th star)

Camera Won't Take More Than 2 Shots Just wasted money on this app to help me out with work. Giving it 2 stars since it'll at least allow me more than 5 sheets to a PDF. Please fix the camera issue and all will be well.

Excellent document scanner app for your phone A must-have application if you need to scan things into your phone to e-mail or e-fax a document to anyone. I used to use Cam Scanner, but the lack of being able to name a document right away and the annoying watermark eventually turned me off to their app. Handy Scanner Pro let's me name the document off the bat, apply filters, and export to numerous locations on the web or on my phone. The quality of the scans that it puts out are great! If you need to scan things, but don't want to buy a scanner, this app will do the trick just fine.

Nice improvements in v2.1 No service running all the time. Scrolling while zoomed is OK now. Default name based on date is generated if you leave it blank, camera is muted for me since 2.0 ... Please give us a nice icon in V2.2 :-)

The best phone scanner with only one defect As Joe mentioned in his review, toggling the advance filters will cause the preview view to go black on my galaxy s3. The filter still works though if you click next and let it process, though is kind of useless because you can't preview what yoy will get as end result. Fix this and it'll be perfect!

Good app Is there plans to include synology nas as an option to upload to? I am having to do it through emailbat moment so time consuming. Its ok with buffalo nas and they have recognised apps. Please let me know if there are any plans to update this cheers

Good because of 1 problem A great program. Easy to use. Makes clear scans. Very nice. My only complaint is that it only lets me scan 2 pages at a time if the flash is on. But, since i rarely need the flash, it's not that big an issue

All scans with handy scanner wiped I had used the free handy scaner and liked it. I decided to buy the pro version. But two days after purchase of pro all my documents were not opening and now there is nothing left.. All docs scaned are wiped out. I have mailed to the contact email. I am not in a happy situation...... The developer needs to contact me.

Not bad Can't batch scan from photo gallery. Reordering pages is a bit clumsy (can't scroll through them while dragging a page, and the page previews cut off pieces, making them harder to identify). Adding a page often fails multiple times in a row. They could take a cue from ScannerPro in the App Store, but this still may be the best scanner app I've found for Android.

Excellent app with minimal adjustments This is a great app that requires very little adjustment when converting. Other apps have a hard time finding the corners on the docs and so I was CONSTANTLY have to adjust the corner on two or three corners. This one finds the corners almost every time. When I scan 6 to 8 pages per doc that is a huge time saver.

Used to be great Like others have found, camera updates have made this app difficult to use. The app's camera took fuzzy pictures and the option to use the stock camera resulted in some bugs, like not being able to review pictures that I took. I have uninstalled it for now.

This app needs some fixing. The fine tuning crop tool needs some serious calibrating. It feels like the app is fighting with me when trying to crop a page. It'll either over or under extend the point I'd like to trim....App hasn't been updated in almost 2 yrs. You get 1 star until you fix your app.
